Wikipedia says:

The Andaman Islands are a group of islands in the Bay of Bengal, and are part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Union Territory of India.

getting there & around

if you're just taking the ferry from port blair to havelock or neil island, you don't need to buy your ticket in advance at the ferry office. those lines are for people taking the boat back to calcutta or chennai. instead, you can just show up to the dock 1/2 hr before the ferry leaves and simply buy your ticket as you're getting on the boat.

entry requirements for US citizens

everyone receives a 30-day permit when they arrive in port blair -- DON'T LOSE THIS, since you'll need to show it whenever you arrive or leave an island.

dangers & safety

be wary of street dogs. most of the time they're fine, but sometime you'll find crazy dogs that will chase after you on your bike or worse, try to bite. if you're biking late at night, try to make a lot of noise on your horn so that they know you're coming. if you're walking, often it's enough to just stoop down and pretend to be picking up a rock. however, travelers are split on whether you should carry a stick and actually try to hit the dogs if they seem threatening. use your own discretion.

health

be careful of sandflies -- tiny flies with black bodies and clear wings that are a frequent annoyance on some beaches. their bites are mercilessly itchy, and you'll see travelers with actual holes in their arms or legs from relentless scratching, some of which become infected. do yourself a favor and bring some anti-itching cream, and for god's sake, don't scratch! the last thing you want to do is try to find medical treatment in some of the most remote islands in the world :)
